Step 1

Create a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and private key using the following RACDCERT command:
 


Panel
RACDCERT CERTAUTH GENCERT +
   SUBJECTSDN(CN('Certificate Authority') +
      OU('Security') +
      O('Company Name, Inc.') +
      C('US')) +
   NOTAFTER(DATE(2030-01-01)) +
   *KEYUSAGE(HANDSHAKE CERTSIGN) +
   WITHLABEL('Company CA')

Change the subject and label names to meet local requirements.
 

Step 2

Create a certificate for the Universal Broker STC and sign it with the CA certificate created in Step 1 using the following RACDCERT command:
 


Panel
RACDCERT ID(UBRUSR) GENCERT +
   SUBJECTSDN(CN('broker.company.com') +
      OU('Operations') +
      O('Company Name, Inc.') +
      C('US')) +
   KEYUSAGE(HANDSHAKE) +
   WITHLABEL('Broker') +
   SIGNWITH(CERTAUTH LABEL('Company CA')

Anchor
1178312
1178312
Change the subject and label names to meet local requirements. The subject's Common Name (CN) value should uniquely identify this instance of the broker in the enterprise.
 

Step 3

Create a certificate key ring for the user profile UBRUSR with the following RACDCERT command:
 


Panel
 
RACDCERT ID(UBRUSR) ADDRING(BROKER)


Step 4

Connect the CA certificate and the Universal Broker certificate to the key ring with the following RACDCERT command:
 


Panel
RACDCERT ID(UBRUSR) CONNECT(CERTAUTH LABEL('Company CA') +
   RING(BROKER)
RACDCERT ID(UBRUSR) CONNECT(LABEL('Broker') RING(BROKER) DEFAULT)

Anchor

1178319
Change the labels to match the values used in previous steps.
 

Step 5

If the resource profile IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING in the FACILITY class is not defined, define it with the following RDEFINE command:
 


Panel
 
RDEFINE FACILITY (IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING) UACC(NONE)


Step 6

Permit the Broker user profile UBRUSR READ access to the RACF profile IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING in the FACILITY class using the following PERMIT command:
 


Panel
 
PE IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING CLASS(FACILITY) ID(UBRUSR) ACCESS(READ)


Step 7

Modify the Universal Broker configuration member UBRCFG00 as follows:
 


Panel
 
ssl_implementation   system
saf_key_ring        BROKER


Step 8

The CA certificate must be distributed to the remote systems from which Universal Agent managers are executed. The managers must be configured with the CA certificate in their list of Trusted CA certificates using the CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option.
 
The CA certificate is exported out of the RACF data base into a data set in a PEM (or base64) format with the following RACDCERT command:
 


Panel
RACDCERT CERTAUTH EXPORT (LABEL('Company CA')) +
   DSN(TEST.CA.CERT) FORMAT(CERTB64)

 
Change the label to match the value used in previous steps.
 
The tsoprefix.TEST.CA.CERT data set contains a PEM formatted certificate. The format is a text format that transfers safely across the network in text mode.
 
Note that the CA private key is not exported. The CA certificate does not contain any private data.
